Overall Review: After trying multiple vendors over the years, I settled on Gigabyte as my go-to for each new build (since Ivy Bridge/z77x-ud5h) as they always seem to give the best features/price/reliability. No suprises on this B850 board, it has the same Gigabyte pedigree as all my others. Great features, easy to configure, and nice and stable. Only downside is the placement of the NVMe/CPU socket/PCIe slot, with the primary NVMe below the PCIe instead of above it makes it bit tight between my Noctua cooler and the GFX card. Non-issue for people with smaller coolers or AIOs.
